Last week we launched the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta by giving 7,000 keys to current CSS and CS 1.6 players. Monday 2,000 keys went out to community sites around the world.

Today we are opening up our online survey to everyone. The next keys will be sent on the basis of this survey. If you don’t fill it out, you won’t be getting a key.

Over the coming months we will make selections from the survey participants. Sometimes we might add experienced players, other times new players. Sometimes 1.6 players, sometimes CSS players, sometimes people who have played neither.

Thank you for your submission.
Thanks for completing the CS:GO survey. We'll be sending out invitations in increasing volumes over the coming weeks, and by filling out the survey you've got yourself into the pool of players we'll be pulling from. The extra data you've provided will allow us to get a wide spread of players and hardware running the game, so we can ensure CS:GO will be an optimal experience for everyone.
Also, keep an eye on the official CS:GO blog, where we'll be regularly posting about what's going on, and ways you can help contribute to the CS:GO community. As always, we rely on continual feedback from the community to ensure we're staying on track, so please drop us a line and let us know how we're doing.
